The Mainland of Huawan is situated between the Xiongwei Mountains inthe west, Mt. Kalkara in the north and the Gulf of Kringalia in the east. The Mainland shares its borders with Hystagia, Valkyria on the northwest, Itomorii on the west, Belschaft and Olympia on the northeast, Amlos and Beepee on the south and Kringalia on the southeast.

The festival is for lunar appreciation and moon watching, when mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy. Mooncakes are offered between friends or on family gatherings while celebrating the festival. The Lunar Festival is one of the four most important Peonic festivals.

The cooking method, dough (which uses yeast and baking soda) and ingredients (usually Vanilla extract is added as essence) has a consistency more like a crumpet. While it is baked on a pan, the martabak is spread with butter or margarine, sugar, crushed peanuts, chocolate sprinkles, cheese or other toppings. Before serving, the martabak is folded in half, so the toppings get in the middle of martabak. This extremely sinful dish is one of the most popular and favorite meals ever in Huawan.

Huawanic Chicken Rice: Huawanic chicken rice is a dish adapted from early settlers and pirate from a faraway land. The chicken is prepared in accordance with traditional Peonic methods, which involve poaching the entire chicken at sub-boiling temperatures. The resulting stock is skimmed off and some of the fat and liquid, along with ginger, garlic and pandan leaves are used in the cooking of the rice, producing an oily, flavourful rice sometimes known as "oily rice". The chickens are fed with coconut and peanut bran. During the last two months before going to market, they are kept in coops above the ground. Chefs prefer using older, plumper birds to maximise the amount of oil extracted, thus creating a more flavourful dish. Over time, however, the dish began procuring other elements, such as using younger birds to produce more tender meats. In Northern Huawan, the bird is dipped in ice after cooking to produce a jelly-like skin finishing, commonly referred to as báijī (白雞; "white chicken"), while Western Huawan notably omits this step. Chicken prepared by braising – lǔjī (滷雞; "stock chicken") – or roasting – shāojī (燒雞; "roasted chicken") – may also be used. The dish is served with a dipping sauce of freshly minced red chilli and garlic, usually accompanied with dark soy sauce and freshly ground ginger. Fresh cucumber boiled in the chicken broth and light soy sauce with a dash of sesame oil are served with the chicken, which is usually served at room temperature. The Symbol of Rice means fertility, luck, wealth, as well as a link between Sky (God) and Earth (Men)

Mantou: Mantou is mostly served as breakfast in restaurants and food carts. Mantou is made with flour usually all-purpose flour, yeast and water. There is no filling used. This is a basic recipe of homemade Peonic steamed buns. But now there are many variations about mantou in China for example wholemeal mantou, milk mantou, pandan mantou, sweet potato mantou, and raisin mantou. In the past days, people are making mantou totally by hand. But now people have stand mixer to help knead the dough. The Mantou symbolizes intelligence, togetherness and reunion. It is customary in schools for Mantou to be presented to the teacher or professor every wednesday. What the educator does to the mantou tells about their character, ouright ignorance sometimes portray stinginess or a problem, eating it resembles intelligence and dominance, sharing it to the students resemble kindness and wisdom, bringing it home resembles gratitude to one's students and apprentices

Tofu can be soft, firm, or extra firm. Tofu has a subtle flavor and can be used in savory and sweet dishes. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish. However, Peonic beancurds are so well made, eating them raw with salted soy sauce has become a wonder food. The Tofu symbolizes fulfillment of wealth and happiness

T'sampa: Cooked barley with tea and butter. At the old ages,Tesa-M'pa was the food for the poor. Because of its simplicity and its ability to merge with almost everything, from chocolates to salted fish oil, it has been quite a versatile dish. Test-M'pa is one of the basic meals in Huawan, though not the favorite. Mostly mountain folk have this as a diet, and explorers packed this meal for its simplicity.

Borts: Borts are air-dried meat cut into long strips which are hung in the shade. The Peonic nomadic lifestyle and the local climatic conditions gave rise to specific methods of preserving meat. The most widespread one is air-drying or bortsloh. After about a month the meat is dry, having turned into small, hard, wooden-like sticks with a brown color. The volume has shrunk so much that the meat of the original cow can now easily fit into the stomach of that same cow. The dried borts is broken into small pieces or ground to a coarse and fibrous powder. It is stored in a linen bag, which allows contact with air. In the dry climate of Huawan, this method of storage preserves the quality of the meat over months, or even years. Borts are more nutritious, and said to be tastier, than other modern field rations. There is an unconfirmed method from old times: Peonic nomads relied on borts for months-long journeys. Dried carefully for three years and then ground into a fine powder, the borts could fit through a sieve or into a cow's bladder, and also feed three to four people with the amount of a single pinch.
